Every time I try to type text, I get giant black blobs. I've reset and rebooted and nothing changes this situation. Any ideas about what is going on?

Reset your character panel. It looks to me like you might have a stroke replied to the text that is so big that it's filling in all the holes.

I also agree with Dave. Screenshots that just show the composition panel have little or no value in diagnosing a problem.

You need to show us as much as you can that is relevant to your problem. At the very least you should select your composition in the project panel so we know what the composition settings are, then the layer that's giving you problems (press the u key twice to reveal all the modified properties of that layer), and any other relevant information about your project including your OS and AE version down to the last decimal point. Without that kind of information we are just guessing.
